Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am 25 years old and currently an Office Manage for a Health and Life Insurance Agency. My goal is to return to college and get my Bachelor’s in Creative Writing which is my passion in life. I wish to create stories that are realistic even though the overall topic is fictional i.e. paranormal romances.
I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland but went to college in Frostburg, Maryland then Towson University, in Towson, Maryland. However, I am still living in Baltimore, Maryland with a husband and stepson, who just turned 8 years old.
I married my highschool sweetheart in 2015 and have been happily married ever since. He has been my constant supporter throughout this journey of self-publishing .

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I always had a fascination for reading ever since I was 10 years old. I would read anything that wasn’t put away such as my mother’s mail, the newspaper, back of cereal boxes, etc. But my obsession with paranormal romances began in high school. I remember reading romance novels by Brenda Jackson or Rochelle Alers but one day, I picked up a novel by J.R Ward and I was hooked ever since. The Black Dagger Brotherhood and other similar novels became the world I ventured into to escape my mundane existence. Since high school and on to college, I continued to read and collect books like this as well as general romance novels until I had over 200 books at my perusal.

I began writing my own novel my second year of college. I remember finishing the latest novel by Gena Showalter and couldn’t shake the ideas that were swirling in my mind for my own story. I knew I wanted to write something that was realistic and gave a different ending than what I usually read. I started writing a little every day, here and there until I finally had something that was worth exploring and becoming more.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors are J.R Ward, Gena Showalter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Brenda Jackson and many more.
These authors know exactly how to bring a story to life. They know exactly how to capture the audience attention via details, character interaction and overall narrative.
My favorite genre is romance in general because I love to read about the journey people go through to find and keep a profound love. It gives me hope and makes my spirit smile when I read and finish novels like this.
I am inspired by my favorite authors daily. I always go back and read the novels I have by them and watch their interviews to see how they started and got to where they are today and it makes me want to pursue my dream even more to become a best selling author.

“He looked wild, untamed and his eyes glowed bright or maybe it was the moon reflecting in them. He raised his hand and beckoned Nattily to come to him. She couldn’t resist.”

Nattily felt the weight of her drab existence on her shoulders. She had just turned 25 years old and still had no idea what to do with her life. But she knew she was meant for more than a conventional life. Something was coming for her. She could feel it.
Nattily craved the mysterious stranger that ravaged her body every night in her dreams. She yearned for his touch…his taste…his wild passionate thrusts. She had know idea the very beast that ignited her core and stole her soul was closer than she thought.

Trevose appeared from the shadows in Nattily’s backyard after searching for the light to his darkness for over 500 years. Their connection is intense, instinctual…primal and undeniable. As they explore the depth of their bond, the Dark Ones set in motion a plan to annihilate the Darkos Clan once and for all.

The Trent boys were my best friends.
Football games were always fun.
Body to body contact.
With them, I always liked it rough.
But, that’s where it stopped.
Because they were the Lost Boys.
And I was their Tinkerbell.

Now, I’m home for Christmas.
And something is different.
Maybe it’s the way the way their eyes examine my body.
And linger at my peaks and valleys.
A noticeable tension unlike ever before.
And a chemistry that’s making me… restless.

I must be imagining it, right?
How can all six brothers want me?

One night, they want to play a naughty game of truth or dare.
Six untamed mountain men.
One unassuming girl.
A cabin in the middle of the woods.

Sabine is a budding poet who was practically born with a pencil in her hand. Though her intelligence and maturity far surpasses that of those around her, she lacks the confidence and social graces to come out of her shell.

She’s been forced on numerous occasions in the past to slip inside the glass double doors of Hilltop Baptist Church. The youth group was her mom’s idea, really. A shot-in-the-dark way for Sabine to try and make some wholesome friends in a wholesome place. Not that it ever worked out—at least she was usually able to make it out with minimal negative attention as her plain-old invisible self.

This time was different. She always hoped it would be different, but not like this.

When Sabine decides she’s had enough of this life, she ends it and becomes more visible than she’s ever been before. Is it possible she wasn’t as forgettable as she once thought? The only way to find out is to watch the aftermath unfold, and no matter the outcome, she can’t do a thing about it. No one can… …or can they?

He expected solitude and fresh air to clear his mind and heart. He did not expect to fall in love. While wild camping on the stark landscape of the Orkney Islands, she disappeared into the standing stones. She faded into nothingness, a look of panic frozen on her face. As she reached out and silently called his name, he lunged to grab her an instant too late.

Her memory has haunted him every hour since.

Simon channeled his sorrow and loneliness into work until he eventually rose to the most powerful position ever held by an ex Black Swan knight. With tireless dedication, he built a congregation of talented misfits, watching and waiting for the one who could find Sorcha.

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I live on the cutting edge of reality, hopping between the realms and bringing back stories that usher readers into lands filled with possibilities and wonder. My life is full of magic. It doesn’t matter where I go or who I am with, I am witness to the extraordinary.
Living in Las Vegas brings a bit of excitement to life as well. Located close to Los Angeles, Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and a beautiful desert landscape, Las Vegas is among the best cities I’ve ever lived in—and that’s saying a lot.
Growing up, my family and I moved from city to city, year after year. It was difficult at times, but also refreshing. I had opportunities to meet new people, redefine myself, and explore differing landscapes quite often. Each time we moved, it was like starting over again. I created a brand new “ME.”
I’ve taken many of my experiences and infused them into my writing, which gives me a vast universe of cultures, experiences, and belief systems to work with. Now, in my forties, I can finally see how my puzzle pieces of life fit together and encourage me to weave fictional truths into tapestries of written words.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve always had a passion for stories, but I didn’t realize that I wanted to be a writer until I was well into other careers. At the time, I was a professional Argentine Tango and Swing dancer. I was also driving six hours each week to attend Kansas College of Chinese Medicine where I was working toward my Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine.
It was during those long drives that I began listening to audiobooks. I became so enthralled with books such as The Time Traveler’s Wife, Harry Potter, Eragon, and more, that I couldn’t help but to create my own stories in my imagination. It was then that the seeds were planted.
Eventually, those seeds grew into fully fledged desires and I had no choice but to allow them to grow. I didn’t become an author because I wanted to. I became an author because I needed to.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite authors include, but are not limited to, the following:
J. K. Rowling
Piers Anthony
Christopher Paolini
Charlaine Harris
Christine Contini
Neville Goddard
and more.

My favorite genre to read is fantasy. I like fantastical stories that swoop me away into rich and vibrant worlds full of magic.

Betwixters – Once Upon A Time is a middle-grade novel about three twelve-year-old friends who find a lost fairy named Neevya in a forbidden forest. Of course, before they met Neevya, they didn’t believe in fairies, but what they didn’t know is that Neevya didn’t believe in humans either.
This is the first book in a series of seven, and it introduces the reader to a vast universe where magic fills the air and adventure waits around every corner. With a rich backstory yet to come, Betwixters Once Upon A Time opens the doors of imagination and makes you question what’s actually possible.

It took three years to write this first book in the series. Building the world was a huge undertaking, and plotting out what happens throughout the entire series has been fun, but also tedious and difficult. There are sister series that intermingle with this one, and by the end, Betwixters will be not just a single story, but an empire.

Discovering his origin isn’t what he’d thought, he becomes determined to peel back the layers of his lineage and unmasks a multitude of mind-bending secrets along the way.

About The Nature of a Woman: Navigating Her 4 Week Cycle by Gary P. Simmons

This unique book is aimed at 25-50 year old men who are in a long term relationship with a woman and committed to being the type of man their partner respects, admires, wants and needs.

Many men tend to react to their partner’s emotional outbursts or harsh comments because they don’t understand why she feels so unsatisfied in their relationship.

They become confused as to why the same behaviour that had their partner loving them one week, has her completely turned off him in the next. This can result in frustration, anger and worse…disconnection. Both parties are then left feeling misunderstood, disrespected and abandoned.

Men need to understand that women experience a menstrual cycle as well as a 4 week MOOD cycle

Men who know how to navigate through their partner's 4 week mood cycle are able to respond rather than react to her. This then facilitates communication in a way that women want and need, so they feel loved, valued and special.

The result is minimal relationship stress and an improved their home life.

What’s the book about? Read the Synopsis!

A mysterious forest near the cozy town of Herogate, England is more than what it seems. The gnarled trees appear to breathe, gloomy storms follow you around, and prowling shadows come to life before your very eyes. Referred to as The Dark Wood by the townsfolk, the forest is guarded by a strange old man and creatures not of this world. Even the locals never set foot in the bewitched woodlands, and trespassers have a way of turning up dead.
When Noah Walters moves to town with his parents, his father—a contractor working on a top-secret project for a private security firm—makes Noah promise to never enter those woods; but he doesn’t know that Fate has other plans.
Noah and his new best friends, Ethan and Skye, are chased into The Dark Wood by Grucker, a schoolyard bully, and their lives are changed forever. They are forced into the heart of the forest, where they discover a lost fairy who needs their help to find her way back home before it’s too late.
Join Noah and his friends on a magical adventure as they race against time and plunge headfirst into the unknown. They are challenged with secrets to keep, a dangerous mission to accomplish, and a test of courage that will bring them face-to-face with magical creatures they thought only existed in fairy tales.
This is more than a tale of discovery, mystery, and excitement; it’s an epic adventure that will usher you into a world where magic is in the air, in the trees, and in every heart.
